SVIA’s elected Board of Directors is the governing-body for the Association. The Board serves
as SVIA’s policy-making body. As such, the Board uses the Association’s standing committees
as well as appointed task forces to develop and recommend policy statements and initiatives
that assist the Association in achieving its mission. The Board is responsible for achieving the
Association’s mission by setting long-term strategy, overseeing finances and governing
Association activities.
To be adopted as an SVIA policy or position, initiatives must be approved by a three-fourths
majority of the Board of Directors. The Association currently has six standing committees that
are chaired by Board members. All members of the Association are encouraged to serve on
Association committees.
